I agree with most of that Zombie Wolf and alot of it vehemently. We've
heard of this Carnivore but I think that's an Urban Myth. That's true if
they are after you the last thing they are going to do is tell you they are
coming with an e-Mail. LOL. But I really don't think going after
small-time copyright infringers is part of their mission. At least it
better not be while Osama bin Laden is running around lose. As far as I'm
concerened they better take that human a little more seriously. Boogie-Man
he is.
